Sporadic, quick-moving shots of light passing through and bouncing off different materials. We see the reflections and shadows caused by the different things it hits. I would say this was almost too simple, but the child-like soundtrack gives it an air of playfulness.

Besides Zločin v šantánu (Crime in the Nightclub), in 1968 the writer Josef Škvorecký also contributed to the bitter comedy Farářův konec (The End of a Priest) as the author of the original idea and screenwriter.
